This is one movie in which you will be impressed and effected by. You will not leave the cinema unmoved. If you were to judge the Best Picture nominees by combination of acting, script and direction, I’d pick this as the winner. Basically this movie kept my interest from start to finish. It was very [...]
Will Smith returns once again, around July 4th festivities (that’s “his” weekend, been that for years, right?), to kick some robot butt. The surprise here is that the movie is pretty good, even engaging at some points. Here’s our review. Three things you need to know right off the bat: 1 – Will Smith’s best [...]
For those who haven’t seen it, It’s a story of a freelance photographer who appears to get caught in a street gang clash by accident. But it’s no accident. He traces the whole history of the gangs and how he grew up and how the gang members grew into their stature. I knew it wouldn’t [...]
One of the things about me any interest in movies is that I like to make a Top 10 list for each year. This is actually my second year posting a Top 10 list.
Starring: a horse. Co-starring: Viggo Mortensen, Omar Sharif, Zuleikha Robinson Critical consensus (from rottentomatoes.com): The scenery looks great, but this overstuffed horse story contains too much cheese. My take: The critics need to relax a little and see the movie for what the makers intended, not what they wanted to see. There’s nothing wrong with [...]
Movies like this one rarely get the attention they deserve. It’s not just the “European” stigma and low budget. It’s not the “tough to read” subtitles. I think it’s mainly because the movie is unusual, and therefore, difficult to sell, and even more difficult to digest. Not to say it’s a heavy movie. Not at [...]
Jim Carrey in yet another serious role? Kirsten Dunst in a dramatic turn? A film with no specific narrative, and no standard timeline? You probably think that it’s one of those “art” movies that are going to go over your head, have all the critics salivate for a few months, get a few awards and [...]
OK, I admit it. I was one of those gals that went to a series-finale-of-Sex-and-the-City party. There were lots of single gals there, who loved the show. And we drank lots cosmopolitan martinis, tried to talk frankly about sex, and tried to wear the funkiest things we had in our closets. Needless to say, I [...]
We were afraid it will come to this. ABC’s best new show of 2003-2004 season has been axed. If you are a fan of films like ‘Out of Sight’, ‘Get Shorty’, and the new ‘Big Bounce’, you would understand our anger and disappointment. Based on Elmore Leonard’s character (played quite impressively by Jennifer Lopez), this [...]
I have a friend. Let’s call him Bob. Bob is a single male who comes from an Anglo-Saxon/Austrian background and he hates Everybody Loves Raymond. Then again he didn’t get My Big Fat Greek Wedding either. I understand why. He sees nothing in common with these people. He never had to deal with “the guilt” [...]
